Description
A self-contained minimized test case of the problem can be found here:
This page displays the text "STATE1" and clicking on it changes it to "STATE2". Clicking on that however switches the text back to "STATE1" (which is correct) and then immediately back to "STATE2" which it shouldn't.
The problem is that after initState1() is called a click event is occuring that shouldn't which causes the immediate call of initState2() again.
Uncommenting the commented javascript line and commenting the one above it shows how the code should behave but uses the static id of the outer div rather than the class of the code inserted with the html() function.
What I would expect is to get the correct behavior in both cases.
It's an issue of logic.
After a click, by the time initState1 finishes and the event bubbles up, a new event handler has been added to the parent (which is then triggered by the same event).
